How Do You Get Inside?

I write this chapter as a parish minister who spent a year hunting for parking spaces at one hospital before I discovered there was a special permit for ministers. I have visited more empty rooms than I care to mention. I have served in communities where everyone who did not know what denomination they were listed themselves as a member of my denomination when they checked into the hospital. And I have served in other communities where no one had ever heard of my denomination, including the people at the hospital information desk. I have heard the stories of countless other pastors who have struggled with the logistics of hospital visitation.
